Elon -3 or ND +3?

[ThingsFallApart]

While Big East teams play well at home (see: St Johns over GTown), it's hard to trust these little ****ty schools who feed on one another. I like the ND matchup, but the homecourt advantage is telling me to stay away. Meanwhile UNC Greensboro is 0-14, however they have had much closer loses their past few games, have a favorable history against Elon, and will be home.

Which do I pick?

Neither. Both are sucker plays. Elon is just as bad as UNCG and they have a worse defense. ND seems like a no brainer, but there is no way I'd take them. ND has been a surprise so far, but Marquette is very good. They are scrappy on defense and much more athletic than ND. And like you said there is a definite home court advantage. ND could very well win, but I'm not going to put money on it.

While I do agree with you, what if my question was "Marq -3 or UNCG +3", it seems like the answer would still be they are both "sucker plays". I mean at the end of the day two are gonna cover and two arent(unless there is the unlikely push).

I'm looking around for something to go on, and I really do not trust Austin Peay even though there exists a consensus out there they will.

Elon and UNCG seem like they play better defense against each other the total is 153 a safer bet may be the under.

AT this point the under looks good for Elon. Lean to ND, only reason is that size is the one thing that could beat them and as far as I know Marquette doesn't have the inside presence to do that, but home court means a lot in college so tread lightly.

I would take ND +3 if Notre Dame can contain Crowder I think they match up well with Marquette everywhere else.

Carlton Scott not playing may hurt ND.
I notice ND played with a VERY slim bench on Saturday vs St. John's. If Marquette can force some fouls, ND may not have the depth to hang in a hostile environment against a scrappy team.

Ya I lean towards Marquette they a r scrappy team and this is a good spot for them hear look for A close game wth Marquette pulling out a close one

Elon has not won on the road at Greensboro since 06.

How do people feel on the under?

They both seem like decent defensive teams(for their division), they shoot poorly, and UNCG has not hit 75 once this year(which is what Elon averages). There also does not seem to be a dominant inside force on either team.

Notre Dame hasnt been a surprise if you did your homework in the preseason you would of known about this team and its ability. I had them in my preseason top 25 as I new they were going to be a top 25 team

Im just going to enjoy the the BCS Championship without having to worry about whether Elon can hang with Greensboro! haha

Goodluck to those that do decide to play it though.
